A Government commissioner could be appointed if Nottingham City Council fails to improve its inadequate children's services
A Government commissioner could be appointed if Nottingham City Council fails to improve its inadequate children's services. This comes after a report found children in the city don't yet receive a "consistently good service" and, for some children, that means there is a risk of serious harm.
During the meeting Ailsa Barr, the director of children's integrated services, said: "Ofsted do alert and have alerted the Department for Education, and they will determine the approach to clear improvement assurance. Ofsted highlighted eight areas for improvement, including the effectiveness and timeliness to responses to children's needs and social worker capacity. "That is something we have had real challenges with," said Ms Barr.Service to care leavers needs improvement, as well as the response to children under 18 who present as homeless, which is a "significant and extreme vulnerability".
